The Doolittle Raid is another name for the bombing of Tokyo on April 18, 1942. Eighty Army Air Corps men, lead by Jimmy Doolittle, took off from the aircraft carrier Hornet in sixteen B-25s on what was considered a suicide mission to bomb Tokyo and hopefully land in China. While nearly all of the men made it back, all but one of the planes crashed.
